Comment from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tower-14 "I will point out that one website (Geneanet Community Trees Index) thinks his parents are Sir John Northend Tower (1554–1604) and Alice Oldfield (1562–1622). This only means that someone on the web found a person in England with the same last name that was born about a generation before our subject."
